The game of school has been played for many years, by both students and teachers. Growing up, and living in America has instilled laziness in everyone. No matter what you we do, its always about finding the easiest way and taking that route. No one wants to put in any more effort then they have to. Children, though young and naive, learn at a young age to observe their teachers, to see just what they can get away with. But the game isn't played by just the students, teachers are great players too. You can tell the difference between the teachers that are in the profession because its what they love to do, while others are simply doing it for the paycheck. Those teachers coast their way through the year, assigning notes from a chapter, and filling time with busy wrk that will never be graded. Every so often they give a test so they can give some type of grade, but of course it's just the bare minimum. The game of school os a great game, that will never seize to exist.
However, the game of school is ruining the school systems. Students are becoming lazy, and when ever they're pushed too much, they just drop out, or give up. Both teachers and students need to change their ways. Teachers need to assign more lessons that they can physically see these students doing it, and students need to stop taking so many short cuts.
